Jumped

Jumped

jumped right through the fire
did not get burnt
jumped right through an inferno
got out to the other side
got out to where the grass,
is supposed to be greener
where the air is meant to be cleaner
but paradise is the stuff,
of fertile imaginations
reality is never enough

jumped the gate
bolted right out of the place
had to keep jumping
had to make my exit good
had to have speed
almost as strong as my need
almost missed my transport
but jumped the queue
and got myself through
got rid of my junk,
jumped
